IN THE EGG MARKET
hmlen of Fresh Ranch Stock in a
Limited Way at 40c With Hest
April Storage at 35c; Chinese
' Stocks Are Hard to Dispose Of.
Great strength Is Bhown In the mar
ket Tor freHh ranch eggs of which sup
plies are ncant. Values today are rul
ing from 37 V4 to 40o a dozen. Unless
theie I a change In the situation it is
likely thai a 4Uc market will be general
at tlie opening af the corning week.
Current arrivals of fresh eggs are
so xcant that few of even the leading:
bonnes have any to offer, it is stated
that many of the Willamette valley
merchants are candlin their stock
and shipping their bent quality to the
northern markets and Bending the re
mainder to i'ortland. Thin is indicated
liv rinalitv (if nrcKfnt arrivals.
Cold storage stock is naturally be-
in a ded by the scarcity or nrst qual
Ity fresh offerings. Kastern eggs are
hemic sold as hiKh as rfoc a dozen.
These, arc so-called "fresh stock" but
so far as- can be ascertained they are
nothing but the best quality or April
storage. Ordinary storage eggs are
bHng held from 30 to 32 Vic a dozen.
Chinese crks are hard to sell at any
price.
SI' KING CHICKENS AUK QUIET
' While there remains a very good
tone for heavy lienn with sales as high
as 14c u nound. demand for lighter
hens and springs is less keen and
clean-ups are reported tit lower prices.
Kecelpts have not been noerai in any
line.
VEAL I'ltlCES A HE SHADED
While the general market is con
sidered merely easier, there is a re
port of sates of first class veals as
low as Kit: u nound along r ront street
during the last 1 hours. Hog sales at
ti '(, t'i 9c generally.

local producers who have the best"!
quality are unwilling to dispose of
them at this time.
Bent local stock could not be pur
chased from glowers below $1 a cen
tal at this time, while Idaho growth
of similar quality can be landed here
without the least difficulty in buying
at 85c to SOc. Two carload's of tlera
State stock are due in the local market
today and additional carload lots are
reported ordered for next week's de
livery. While there is a fair supply of lo
cal potatoes available of the second
or third grade, Jv'o. 1 stock has been
scarce here. Under quality stuff could
be obtained at lower prices with grow
ers showing some pressure to . sell.
There is no outside demand for sup
plies and the only call therefore is
for the home market.

night. More chairs were brought in
and all found willing occupants.
Dr. Smith was noisily greeted when
introduced as "a man whose recoiid is
clean, a man who believes law is law
and put on the books to be enforced,
a man who can and will run the state's
business on business principles, a man
of the people who will work for th.i
people and wKp will carry out the will
of the peoplefand not the will of the
bosses." 1
"You are entitled to know who I
am," said Dr. Smith, as he rose to
speak. "I have lived in Oregon 25
years, most of that time in Pendleton.
I served in many public capacities in
my old home town, among them as
state senator from tTmatilla county,

"Towns like people have character
and . characteristics. Your town has
the appearance of being wholesome
and prosperous. But if. in the next
four years, taxes Increase in the Fame
ratio as during the past several years,
it will be hard to maintain prosperity.

Why should there be requirement by
the legislative body that all the taxes
should be paid by April 1, or be penal

any other time in the year?

Success of Apple
Day Is Reviewed
Committee Reports That Affair Was
Conducted Without Any Deficit;
Member Are Thanked.
Between 80 and 36 members of the
Apple day committee "were present tb,ls
afternoon at the final wfndup meeting
of the apple , committee. Which had
luncheon at the Commercial club.
At the meeting the various commit'
tees and -those who assisted in making
the day the success it was were pron-
erly thanked. C. C. Chapmah of - the
Oregon Development league presided
and officers of .the Commercial club
were present to hear the reports.
In a speech preceding the reports.,
Mr. Chapman reviewed the work done
by the committee and the successthat
attended Apple day. October 20. Quite
Incidentally he reported that there
was no deficit. i -
One of the best attended schobl
house meetings of the campaign was
held at- Lents last evening. The
speakers were: A. V. Flegel, Demo
cratic candidate for congress, Tom I
"Word, candidate for reelection as
sheriff; Roscoe P. Hurst, candidate
for Joint representative against C: il.
Hurlburt, who hag been repudiated by
the Republican organiation, and
Harold Warner, who spoke In behalf
of Dr. C, J. Smith, candidate for gov
ernor, and Senator Chamberlain.
Frank Lee presided.
Mr. Flegel spoke briefly Of hid busi
ness and professional life, and 'aid he
thought it might be taken for granted
that he was as well equipped, bo far
as experience in business and his per
sonal character and qualifications
were concerned, as any other candi
date.
If that be true, then he said there
were other reasons why ne should be
elected.
Duties Ara Orsat.
T am nominated by the Darty of the
administration," he said. "There is a
vast difference between the legisla
ture of Oregon and the congress of
the United States. The legislature
meets 40 days in two years and is a
lawmaking body only, and If it is dom
inated by one party, your own experi
ence has demonstrated the importance
of a governor with courage and firm
ness to hold them down.
"The congress is a lawmaking body,
but the duties of your congressman
are different. During the recesses of
congress he is your agent before the
various departments and bureaus. He
is the agent of Oregon and his district
as to all matters In which the state is
interested, such as the jetties, the im
provement of the rivers and harbors,
care and sale of timber and other
lands, regulation of reclamation serv
ice, grazing lands and innumerable,
other matters.
President Asks Tot of Confidence.
"If he is of the same party as the
administration it requires no argument
from me to show that he will be bet
ter equipped to represent you than a
representative who goes to Washing
ton to oppose and impede the adminis
tration. This alone would be suffi
cient reason for electing me to con
gress.
"But the supreme reason Is that
President Wilson has asked the people
to give him a vote of confidence in
November, and the only way you can
give him this vote is by voting for
Chamberlain for senator and Flegel
for congressman.
"That President Wilson has saved
this nation from war is admitted on
all hands. That by letting all nations
of the world know that he believed
that a treaty is a sacred obligation,
to be kept by the United States has
given him the confidence of the great
powers of the world, and they now
trust the United States with their Im
portant matters in the countries at
war.
Many Great Thing's; Dose.
"The record for achievement In
constructive legislation in 18 months j
far exceeds the previous 18 years. The
executive department under his lead
ership has been phenomenal in its
quality of statesmanship and fair
ness. The handling of the Colorado
strike situation and the controversy
between the engineer and firemen and
the western manager of the railroads,
has endeared him to th? hearts of all
laboring classes, particularly the rail
road men engaged in the operation of
trains.
"Remember, to endorse President
Wilson, you must vot for Chamber
lain and Flegel; all others oppose hirm
"President Wilson deserves a vota

European orders for blankets have
come forward so freely to the eastern
mills that they are distributing them
among the Pacific coast institutions
in order to make greater speed In de
livery. Several of the leading Pacific
coast mills have recently been asked
by eastern brokers and mill Interests
to bid on blankets for the use tf for
eign armies and some orders, are ex
pected within a few days as a result
of this activity. The blankets have
a small opening In the"mtddle, through
which the soldier places his head. This
therefore gives protection In all sorts
of weather.
Dairy Products Lower.
There has been considerable weak
ness throughout the dairy products
markets of the country recently. But
ter and cheese prices have shown con
siderable price losses and eggs have
not shown the strength in some places
that had been expected. The huge
quantities of cold Storage stock is one
depressing feature against anything
except strictly fresh stock.
Business Tery Brisk.
There is no lack of business offer
ing In many lines of trade. Some fac
tories are working to full capacity and
still are unable to fill their orders
promptly. If the demand for wooden
pails, butter kits and buckets is a true
barometer of business conditions, there
is a factory at Klamath that has the
bulge on forecasting. The bucket and
pail factory of Wood & Lens in that
city has received so many orders re
cently that an enlargement of facili
ties has been found necessary to take
care of the increasing business.
But Oreron Palls.
Th Klamath firm has just closed
a contract with a Kansas City Institu
tion for 50 carloads of pails and other
wooden holders. -Swift & Co.. the big
